If you enjoy the outdoors, Fairfax has plenty of trails that allow you to run, walk or bike your way either into the city or out to the country. Parks throughout Fairfax offer golf, sports, playgrounds, camping and even cricket. Nothing brings Fairfax to life like a beautiful day as the streets and parks are teeming with residents enjoying every outdoor activity imaginable.

If shopping’s more your speed, Fairfax County houses Tysons Corner and The Galleria – the retail centers of Northern Virginia. The Reston Town Center offers a fun outdoor shopping and dining experience in addition to the free outdoor concerts it hosts throughout the spring, summer and fall. Fair Oaks and Springfield malls are also popular among local residents.

Fairfax is also home to some of the best farmers markets in the area where you can not only support your local farmers, but also enjoy the freshest produce in town. Visit our farmer’s market blog to find out where the closest farmers market is to you or your potential new home.

The real estate in Fairfax is as diverse as the people who live there. One of the perks of Fairfax real estate is that you can usually get a little more for your money than you would in Arlington – a big plus for many first time homebuyers. Fairfax has condominiums, townhouses and single-family houses of every size. Contemporary, classic and green home options are all available to meet your preference.

Fairfax is no stranger to rush hour traffic; so it can be wise to choose a location that minimizes your workweek commute. Some homebuyers do take advantage of commuter options such as Metrorail, which offers several stations in the area. Future plans to extend Metrorail from the East Falls Church station through Tysons Corner, Reston, and ultimately Dulles Airport will only add to both the convenience and value of real estate in Fairfax County.
